Comptroller Audit

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is the chief steward of the state’s finances, acting as tax collector, chief accountant, chief revenue estimator and chief treasurer for the state government. The Texas Comptroller overseas collection and delinquency assessments (audits) for franchise taxes, sales and use taxes, and several other taxes.

Part of the Texas Comptroller’s duty centers on comptroller audits, or what have come to be called “Liquor Pour Audits.” These can force bar and restaurant owners to report higher gross receipts and therefore pay higher taxes.

While the Texas Comptroller is often compared to the IRS, the methods and procedures for tax examinations – known as redetermination hearings – are very different from those of the IRS and the federal tax system.

The laws and rules that apply to Texas state tax collection matters are extremely strict. If you have been notified that you are the subject of a Texas sales tax audit or if you have received a Texas Notices Tax/Fee Due, it is especially important that you take immediate action
